still on the leash of madnessA Poem by jacob erin-cilberto
dogs in
a wasteland tails between legs of
broken logic guttural growls of
dissatisfaction
limping like mongrels
with hyena feet iambic lines of lame
laughter we are stray beasts of selves victims of our own trust
the system doesn't feed
the mutts only the show dogs get
recognition and those trophy
wielding dobermans
are one party
dogs, obliterating the masses and leaving the rest of
us not even one poor bone to gnaw.
